Manny Pangilinand-led broadcast giant TV5 is taking over the frequency where CNN Philippines once aired its program following the latter's untimely shutdown last January 31, 2024.
MediaQuest Holdings, which operates TV5, collaborates with Radio Philippines Network Inc. The two made the launch of RPTV official in a recent press announcement. RPTV on Channel 9 on free television will now be dedicated to sports, news, and entertainment. The said firm also owns Radyo5, One News, One Sports, One PH, Sari-Sari Channel, and The Varsity Channel, among others.
"February 1 marks another historic milestone in Philippine broadcasting as TV5 launches RPTV," the television channel said in a statement. TV5 President and CEO Guido Zaballero added: "The birth of RPTV is aligned with our commitment to elevate the standards of entertainment, sports, and public service broadcasting in the Philippines."
Some of the programs that will be broadcast on the channel will cover Philippine Basketball Association games, plus 3X3, D-League, and more. Other content such as games from the Premier Volleyball League and the Gilas Pilipinas national team will be played here, as well.
Adding to the pool of shows slated to appear on Channel 9 is Eat Bulaga, the news and public service show of journalist Ted Failon and personality DJ Chacha, as well as Raffy Tulfo’s Wanted sa Radyo.
RPTV will now be on Channel 9 Analog in Manila, Cebu, and Davao; Channel 5 in Zamboanga; Channel 12 in Baguio; and Channel 8 in Bacolod. It is also available via pay TV at Cignal TV (Channel 10), SatLite (Channel 9). GSat (Channel 8) and over 300 cable and satellite providers in and around the Philippines. Content can be streamed live via the Cignal Play OTT App, as well.
